I named it "Future NOW" -- because all the talk of the last 4 -7 years is coming to fruition. It's finally actually happening.
A. I., Cybersecurity, Predicitive Data, Virtual Reality, and Genomics, were all leading themes. 1,300+ vendors were at the conference and we got to interview two shinning stars. Medisafe and returning Pharmacy Podcast Network sponsor - Omnicell.

On February 2, 2015, Illinois’ Governor Bruce Rauner conditionally awarded permits to operate medical cannabis dispensaries in Illinois. Friedman’s high scoring application was one of 57 granted a license. Friedman has a pharmacy degree from the University of Illinois College of Pharmacy, and a MBA from Illinois’ Lake Forest Graduate School of Management.

Sheila Arquette, Executive Director of the National Association of Specialty Pharmacy interviews Heritage Biologics COO, Christopher Kennedy about being a 'Patient Focused Strategy' oriented Specialty Pharmacy.
Heritage Biologic's Patient Experience is a refreshing alternative to other customer service models. At Heritage Biologics, patients feel the difference from their first interaction with the Heritage committed specialized team.
The Heritage experts are leading the charge to advance the healthcare experience for patients. They recognize the challenges and difficulties that life can throw your way when managing a rare disease or other health condition. Heritage has a HBcares program which is anchored in a fundamental approach to patient-centered care.
Having a rare disease patient on their leadership team has allowed Heritage to combine best practices and new ideas to create a place we're confident patients will call Heritage Biologics their home pharmacy.
Pharmacy owners must leverage their data more aggressively to impact their bottom line and stay in business. "Big Data" is the trend but what does it really mean and how can pharmacy businesses gain a competitive advantage with data?

As these baby boomers age, they will develop more comorbidities and health issues, and their impact on the system and their consumption of medications and health care services will skyrocket, so, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Consider this:
- Today there are over 46.2 million adults aged 65 and older in the United States; by 2060, that number is expected to double to 98 million.

Pharmacy Compliance Guide
Attestations & Certifications
Every fall we hear the PBMs sending out requests for Attestations for Fraud, Waste and Abuse and HIPAA Compliance. Why do they all keep asking for the same information?
When Medicare Part D came into play, the Pharmacy Benefit Managers were given the regulatory authority to manage the Medicare Part D program. Part of this program was ensuring pharmacies were properly training their staff. It initially started with annual:
- Fraud, Waste & Abuse Training,
- OIG Exclusion Verification, and
- HIPAA Compliance Training
Then each fall, everyone had to attest they accomplished these requirement for Medicare Part D. Unfortunately, a lot of pharmacies and organizations signed off of the attestations and really didn’t do it.

The Income Outcomes Show with Ben Coakley & Joe Cassleman recording LIVE at the NCPA 2017 Annual Convention in Orlando FL.
Why are some people more successful than others? I often ask myself this questions when things aren't going the way I plan. We all have the same amount of time in each day, so it isn't about not having enough time. Me and my team have focused on eliminating that excuse from the many that we seem to have when we don't get the results we want.
I feel that success (this is different for each person) is built around priorities. These priorities should be so strong that they change the way you allocate your time, energy and financial resources. These three resources are all we have to give when you boil everything down. That's why it's important to not waste them on things that aren't a true priority.
I have built my career on helping people establish priorities in their lives. Then me and my team use all the available resources and

RxSafe sponsor's this episode of the Pharmacy Podcast to help educate pharmacy owners, directors, and pharmacy business stakeholders about the benefits of Section 179 Tax Deduction.
2017 Deduction Limit = $500,000
This deduction is good on new and used equipment, as well as off-the-shelf software. To take the deduction for tax year 2017, the equipment must be financed/purchased and put into service between January 1, 2017 and the end of the day on December 31, 2017.
2017 Spending Cap on equipment purchases = $2,000,000
This is the maximum amount that can be spent on equipment before the Section 179 Deduction available to your company begins to be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis. This spending cap makes Section 179 a true "small business tax incentive" (because larger businesses that spend more than $2.5 million on equipment won't get the deduction.)

What is Health 3.0?
Health 3.0: Repersonalized & Transcendent A new paradigm is emerging at last — one that treats both Health 1.0 and 2.0 as partially true, but incomplete. A paradigm that transcends both, preserving their strengths while allowing for the emergence of something far greater: repersonalized care that honors both the unique individual and the larger whole.

Participating or Non-Participating, That is the Question
Participating vs non-participating, what does this mean?
- Participating means that you are accepting the Medicare reimbursement or allowable for each product you bill for.
- Non-Participating means that you are not accepting the Medicare reimbursement.
So participating means accepting Assignment?
- Yes, you are accepting the Medicare allowable or Assignment. You also agree to charge the patient no more than 20% of the allowable at the time of dispensing. Medicare sends the supplier the reimbursement of 80%, less the 2% sequestration fee. If you know the patient has a secondary insurance carrier, the copay should only be the balance after the secondary payment. This c

Many pharmacists want to be entrepreneurs.

How did you manage the transition from full time employee to full time entrepreneur?

Even though it has been misinterpreted and refuted, I do like President Kennedy's speech ironically here in my hometown (Indianapolis) back in the 1950s, where he shared a definition of the word "Crisis" = Danger + Opportunity, in Chinese. And even though the translation is incorrect, I still would like to think that anytime there is a crisis, there is an element of danger and opportunity within it. Danger and opportunity can lead to amazing things!
This is also true of one's career. There's been talk of mergers, layoffs, and restructuring abound in my world of pharmacy and pharmaceuticals, and I don't foresee that tumult ending anytime soon. I still get panicky emails from friends of friends each and every day who lost their jobs, and beg for answers to: "What should I do about this?" When radical change is happening around us at lightening speeds, the best one can do is prepare for the crisis when it comes along.
Live at the HIMSS 2017 Conference in Orlando FL, an interesting interview with Ken Perez, Vice President of Healthcare Policy at Omnicell, Inc.
Industry experts are predicting that a slow repeal of the ACA will have very little, if any, negative impact on healthcare technology. Healthcare technology grew at an unprecedented pace under the ACA, in part because the ACA contains provisions which provide healthcare technology with incentives to develop and implement new systems aimed at increasing efficiency.
Despite the significant amount of uncertainty with a slow repeal of the ACA for many players in the healthcare industry, healthcare technology appears to be poised for continued growth through value-based care, telemedicine, and the increased need for interoperability.

HIPAA Breaches & Desk Audits
What is a breach?
- In simple words, the loss of patient protected health information, either printed or electronic.
How common are breaches within pharmacies?
- There are two types of pharmacies and pharmacy owners,
- The first are the ones who know they have had a breach
- The later are the ones who have had a breach and don’t know about it
How can I have a breach and not know about it?
- Simple, has your pharmacy clerk ever given a patient another patient’s medication?
- That is a breach
Can you give me examples of breaches?
- Pharmacy is robbed and the will call bin is stolen
- Pharmacy is robbed and the server is stolen
- Staff pharmacist has a laptop stolen
- Delivery driver has their vehicle stolen which is full of prescriptions to be delivered<!--

Gavel & Pestle Podcast host - Darshan Kulkarnitalks about the effects of non-compliant pharmacies and pharmacy law.
Due to the meningitis outbreak caused by NECC’s products, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, MD, was twice called to testify before Congress. She explained that the FDA is inadequately empowered to regulate these compounding pharmacies. Most recently, Commissioner Hamburg revealed that inspections by the agency have found appalling conditions in other compounding pharmacies. Inspections carried out from February through April have documented rusty tools, bare-handed employees handling drugs, and black particles in “sterile” solutions. According to the commissioner, these unacceptable conditions cause significant risks to public health.
As a result of the meningitis outbreak and subsequent findings, several bills have been proposed in Congress to improve regulation of compounding pharmacy. Some proposals would let the current structure co

Gavel & Pestle Podcast host -Darshan Kulkarni, PharmD, MS, Esq - provides insight on Off-Label indication and illegal promotion of drugs. What you don't know can get you thrown in jail or millions in fines.
Providing Coverage for Off-label Prescriptions
While off-label promotion is the purview of the Justice department, certain off-label prescribing is for all intents and purposes sanctioned by behemoth entities such as Medicare, and guided by national compendia. In 1993, a portion of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act legally required Medicare to cover an off-label use of a cancer drug if it is in the drug compendia, or is supported by peer-reviewed articles in certain journals outlined by Medicare.

We are all born with an infinite Power and several unique gifts to share with the world. As we progress in life, we absorb and learn from our surroundings at school, home and work. Our teachers, parents, peers and bosses reflect societal norms that are purely accepted by the masses. We grow up in a world where we need to ask for permission and conform in order to feel safe and accepted.
As a result, many children grow up with limiting beliefs about their potential and may never question authority or dream past what their parents accomplished. Gradually, we begin losing aspects of who we really are because we become distracted by the external world.
With the advancement in technology, we are distracted and disconnected now more than ever. We have grown further away from listening to our intuition and the inner guidance that is always available to us.

Pharmacy Podcast co-host and President of GRX Marketing interviews pharmacy owner Eric Pusey, R.Ph., CDE, with Medicap Pharmacy in Olyphant, Pennsylvania and current president of the Pennsylvania Pharmacist Association.
What is compliance packaging? Pharmacies across the nation now have another option to offer their medication management patients with medication compliance packaging, whereby a patient’s medications are blister-packed into cards or another packaged system organized by time-of-day and day-of-week.
The pharmacy staff organizes all the medications for your a patient's convenience. A multi-dose packaging system makes everything simpler for patients. Sorted and packaged by a staff member or pharmacist, each dose is personalized for that specific patient and they’re clearly labeled by date and time of day, giving the patient comfort of knowing they took the right medication at the right time. No more guesswork, and no more bottles or pillboxes.

Play nice with others – This is a combo of all the 4 previous steps, but ask yourself how you and your pharmacy business can play nicely with others. Is there a visiting nurse service you could partner with in the community? Is there a way you could organize a community task force for disaster relief if, God forbid, something happens to your community?
What about a tox away day? Can you set up a phone tree with other pharmacists to prevent theft and diversion in pharmacy? What can you do with strong non profits in your area that would help the community? Can you bring the community IN to your pharmacy to hang out and be a spot of joy and hope for your neighborhood, instead of another icky task they have to check off of their list?

Darshan Kulkarni, JD, PharmD, discusses the impact of NonAdherence: Successful treatment of disease with prescription medicines requires consistent use of the medicines as prescribed. Yet research shows that medicines commonly are not used as directed.
Nonadherence to medicines is a major health care cost and quality problem, with numerous studies showing high rates of nonadherence directly related to poor clinical outcomes, high health care costs, and lost productivity. The cost of nonadherence has been estimated at $100 billion to $300 billion annually, including costs from avoidable hospitalizations, nursing home admissions, and premature deaths.i Adherence to therapy is especially important for management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Chronic disease affects nearly one in two Americans and treating chronically ill patients accounts for $3 out of every $4 spent on medical care. Many researchers have found that poor

*2. Get out of the fishbowl* – Just like Hazel Walker described on the Pharmacy Podcast, you need to build a network inside the profession of pharmacy and OUTSIDE. That INCLUDES networking in your local community, with the patients you serve. My first couple of pharmacy experiences had me surrounded by glass around the pharmacy – so we used to joke that sometimes, we needed to “get out of the fishbowl.” Examples of this: could you get out into the community and discover nursing homes that need adherence packaging for their patients that you could help with? Is there an acute facility in a

Ok, Pharmacy Podcast listeners, I’m starting to feel a bit…guilty.
In writing an original post, then creating a 5-part mini series about the 5 Roads out of Retail Pharmacy over at Pharmacy Podcast, I’m worried that I may appear to be discounting or even trashing retail pharmacy.
I’m not.
Really!
I learned a LOT of valuable lessons about managing people and caring for patients through my various retail pharmacy practice experiences. I also learned a lot of soft skills through those experiences as well – like patience, fortitude, endurance, creativity and problem-solving – that I never would have learned inside a classroom.

We return to the Gavel & Pestle Podcast with Darshan Kulkarni, PharmD, MS, Esq. to discuss the sensitive topic of Whistleblowers in healthcare & pharmacy.
What is a Whistleblower?
A whistleblower is effectively an individual who has witnessed or been part of an unethical or illegal process, often against their will as a condition of employment, and decides to submit the incriminating evidence to the proper authorities. Whistleblowers begin the indictment process in cases that are criminal. Whistleblowers are not just restricted to the private sector, but the dynamics of retaliation from cases arising from the public sector can be different. Congress understands the precarious situations that whistleblowers are in and have established legislation for retributive protection.
Cases in the private sector are covered by The Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act and are enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor. A subset of the Zarbanes-Oxl

We talked with Brian Dickerson with FisherBroyles Pharmacy Law Experts about the increasing Federal Government targeting pharmacy businesses.
The FisherBroyles Pharmacy Law team has observed an increase in the Department of Justice and Department of Defense’s coordinated efforts to conduct investigations into alleged violations of the False Claims Act for claims submitted to TRICARE.
Lately, the Department of Labor has joined the enforcement actions for what they perceive as alleged overbilling for compounded medications. The aggressiveness of the federal agencies enforcement was in full view when pharmacies in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Utah were part of coordinated take-down raid this past February. We believe similar national take-down raids are likely to occur in the future.

Returning Pharmacy Podcast Guest - Pharmacist Jamie, Jamie Mask talks about the upcoming virtual conference Pharm2Table.
How often do we hear that pharmacists, especially community pharmacists, “don’t have a seat at the healthcare table?” We bemoan the fact that our standing in the healthcare universe has declined, and are ever fearful that our profession will be replaced by automation and vending machines.
Not the most encouraging thing for Pharm D candidates to hear. Well, we believe that it is time that we become the authors of our own destiny, and that all begins with future community pharmacists. The Pharm2Table Virtual Summit seeks to be the catalyst in developing actionable steps by exposing Pharm D candidates to 3 “tables”: Rebranding our profession, pursing next practices and exploring expanded reimbursement models.

About Trovita:
Our mission was borne of a critical need in the marketplace for nutritional products that provide higher quality ingredients, without the use of added sugar, corn syrup and artificial ingredients. We recognized that health care professionals and consumers are seeking products that fuel strength and recovery, especially when a person’s choice of nutritional intake is limited by a disease or medical treatment. Too many of the complete nutritional products available today – whether ready to drink shakes, or enteral nutrition products – are providing calories primarily from cheap ingredients, including sugar and corn syrup, and modest protein levels

The classic definition of Marketing essentials is known as the “4 P’s” – Price, Product, Promotion and Place/Position. Marketing textbooks from the 50’s to the 80’s always identified these factors as the fundamental ingredients of effective Marketing. But just knowing the “4 P’s” for a given business enterprise does not automatically generate productive Marketing activity. The 4 P’s are merely the building blocks of a concerted and sustained Marketing effort. In the same way that gathering 150lbs of carbon, iron, calcium, sodium and other natural elements and combining them with several gallons of water does NOT produce a human being, defining a particular company’s 4 P’s does not spontaneously result in the successful marketing of the firms’ products and services. If the 4 P’s are the bricks and mortar, you still need tools to build anything with them. And there are lots of tools – advertising campaigns, promotional plans, coupons, editorials,

[The expansion of health networks- the trend and the implications]
The idea that increased collaboration among rural healthcare providers could benefit both the collaborating organizations and the communities they serve is not new. In the past, collaboration among rural pharmacies, hospitals, and insurances has been advocated as a "strategic response" to the challenges these facilities face.
However, with respect to participation in multi-healthcare networks and health systems - the actual "SAVINGS" and data - offers little evidence that such arrangements yield significant benefits for rural communities, pharmacies, and hospitals.

Statinzyme is an advanced supplemental formula that was developed by Dr. Paul Faerstein, the owner of Zuckerman Pharmacy in Brooklyn, New York. As a second-generation pharmacist, Dr. Paul is keenly aware of the Drug Nutrient Depletion side effects caused by statins and routinely recommends dietary supplements to his customers to help reduce and prevent those side effects. Often, he found himself recommending nine or more products that ended up costing his patients hundreds of dollars.

Poison Prevention Week (March 17 - 22)

In cooperation with its members and leaders, the present-day OPA continues to function by this purpose and act to positively impact the profession as these past extraordinary individuals did.

We interview - Danny Vela owner of Lee’s Pharmacy in McAllen, TX and member of the Rio Grande Valley Independent Pharmacy Association, who explains the situation in Texas (& throughout the country) that pharmacies have been facing when the state began its transition to managed care for Medicaid. Pharmacy benefit management (PBM) companies were brought in to oversee the state’s prescription drug program.
Vela’s observation about the situation: “States that have tried this in the past, are now going back to the way they used to do things before. States that are going back, are using the [old] Texas vendor drug program model to go back to. So logic tells you that we had a great program in place. Why did we mess with it?”

Ohio State University College of Pharmacy History:
As one of the six original colleges, The College of Pharmacy established itself on Ohio State’s campus in 1885. Armed with only $200 for supplies and one part-time faculty member, its founders firmly established pharmacy at the University. Since that time, the College has led the field of Pharmacy, setting many firsts and educating some of the brightest young students. From Roy Darlington, the first African American in the nation to receive a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences to one of the first distance-learning programs at Ohio State, Pharmacy continues its tradition as a leader in research and practice. Today, the College is home to world-class faculty, researchers, and students who are leading the way in pharmacy education, practice, and research.

ACP has registered hundreds of independent pharmacists to participate on a Congressional Network “Pharmacy Committee.” Committees will be formed in every state!
“Every congressional district has independent pharmacies, and we want to make sure Congress hears from all of them,” stated Bill Rustin, ACPCN President. “Members of Congress should be talking with their local pharmacies rather than the PBM industry in Washington.”

Using Social Media in your Community Pharmacy Business It all started with a question: “Why is it so difficult for franchises and other businesses to use social media, and how can we make it easier and more affordable?”
The answers came after speaking with hundreds of individual franchise owners from a variety of industries. The result? A low-cost, high value, product that would work for any group of businesses, franchise or not. Our “scalable” approach means that we become intimately acquainted with a small number of industries, build a platform for each, and use frameworks (but not cookie-cutter solutions) for each. By focusing on select business types, we can offer a higher level of service at a reduced cost.
To this end, Scalable Social Media acquired the services of the best web development and design professionals around, teamed up with individuals who have used social media for business and fo

TAKE CHARGE® In Your Independent Pharmacy
In recent years, it has become more and more difficult for independent pharmacies to rely on prescription sales to make ends meet. Competition with the chain pharmacy is tough, so are state cutbacks and mail order mandates. But one of the greatest advantages we have as business owners is the choice to do something new and different in our communities. We have the freedom to explore new business opportunities and take action in a way that will set our independent pharmacies apart from all others.
Patient Care That Works.

•A more outspoken push for pharmacist involvement in ACOs.
“I really think that CMS was remiss in not explicitly including the drug benefit in the Shared Savings model. Because the industry recognizes that it’s important, what we are seeing is that the people who are planning on participating in the ACOs are already reaching out to the PBMs to lean on them to develop programs. So by default, we will end up being participants in it indirectly versus directly…. It’s the most frequently used benefit.
